The Union (Marvel Team)

I created a page The Union (Marvel Team), however there is not yet enough information to warrant two articles for the individual topic areas so they are currently mashed into one article, The two areas are The Union (Marvel Team and The Union (comics).

I have currently named the article The Union (Marvel Team) as I think it best reflects the current situation given that the team have now featured outside of The Union (comics), but I would like advice regarding the wiki article naming policy as it is a grey area with multiple actions I could take.

Are these trivial non-apperances?

It seems that an IP user has been adding quite a few non-appearances to Marvel character articles, which to me read like trivia. I would appreciate if someone would review these additions to Vulture, Electro, Sandman, Franklin Storm, Franklin Richards, MODOK, Mary Jane, J. Jonah Jameson, and Doctor Octopus to see if any of those changes should be retained. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 23:11, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

They are also edit warring with User:Blazewing16. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 03:10, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

None of those are worth keeping on the character pages. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:02, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

OK, thanks Argento Surfer. The IP user left me an odd message at User talk:8.37.179.254#Marvel characters, and I notice that they also started some discussions at Talk:Zzzax and Talk:Absorbing Man which are also a bit odd, but for those two articles it looks like something that User:Drmies had previous reverted. 8.37.179.254 (talk) 18:47, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Those articles are shit magnets, of course. I see that Sro blocked, for likely block evasion by User:Tornatore2007. Drmies (talk) 21:13, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Is that Tigra in the Hawkeye series?

A character named Greer appears in the series as a friend of Kate Bishop. A citation was added[1] to the Tigra article to support the idea that Greer is actually Tigra. Does this citation actually support this connection, or is that speculation and assumption? 98.32.219.40 (talk) 23:31, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

For what it's worth, that edit was undone[2] but someone may try to add it again. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 15:37, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

And indeed, it has been added back again. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 01:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

It's not confirmed to be her. Just an easter egg, which is common in MCU properties. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:04, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Frank Miller Disambiguation

The Frank Miller article is currently located at Frank Miller (comic book writer). I don't think this is the best title for the page as it ignores his art. Would Frank Miller (comics creator) work better? Thematthewmurray (talk) 08:26, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

It was created as (comics), was briefly moved to (comics creator) in 2016, then moved to (comic book writer) earlier this year, then back to (comics), then back to (comic book writer) again. There was one poorly attended discussion about it at Talk:Frank Miller (comic book writer)/Archive 1#Profession over field. I suggest starting a formal request with Template:Requested move to find a solid consensus. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:40, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

I created a move request on the the talk page.Thematthewmurray (talk) 03:56, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Template:Avengers characters

Who considers Rocket Raccoon a member of the Avengers in the comics?--Mark Rhodes 13 (talk) 17:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Sheldon the God insists that he did, but the closest thing I can find to that in the article is that he was summoned along with several other heroes to fight an enemy, and the article states "Rocket mused that this would allow him to cross "being an Avenger" off his bucket list." So does that mean he was an actual member of the team, and thus should have membership listed in the infobox? 207.229.139.154 (talk) 07:16, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Note that the above user initially reverted User:Mark Rhodes 13[3] to include that supposed team membership in the infobox. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 07:18, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

And now it has been removed again: [4] 207.229.139.154 (talk) 15:19, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Citations for Anne Rice comics

Hello! The Anne Rice article is nominated for an ITN for her recent death. There's a number of cn tags in the article, 9 of the current 16 of which are for comic adaptations of her work throughout the 1990s (this section here). However, I'm having trouble quickly finding high quality sources to verify this information, and I'm not sure where to start looking and I'm not sure if inserting citations directly to the books with their ISBNs is enough. Been ages since I've done this sort of thing with comics. Advice or help requested. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 20:59, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Nvm, I managed. Though, I would not say no to a spot check, but there's references now. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 06:58, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Archenemies

I'm sure that this has been discussed before and the consensus was that in order to call a character an archenemy of another character, we need a WP:RS source to confirm this. For example, the article on Norman Osborn has multiple sources cited to demonstrate that he is the archenemy of Spider-Man. User:Sheldon the God added to the article on the Leader (character) that he is the archenemy of the Hulk, and when this was challenged he added it back. Is it OK to accept this as a fact without a source in this instance or do we need a source to state it? 207.229.139.154 (talk) 14:19, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Mark Rhodes 13 attempted to revert this, but User:Sheldon the God added it back. 8.37.179.254 (talk) 01:58, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

As I commented on User talk:Sheldon the God, this dispute should be discussed on the article's talk page before any changes are made. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:57, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Sheldon the God reverted once again, removed the talk page warnings about finding sources and edit-warring from User:Mark Rhodes 13 and User:InfiniteNexus, and has made no attempt at discussion of any kind. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 14:48, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

I have slapped another warning on the user's talk page. If this disruptive behavior persists, you can report them at WP:AIV. InfiniteNexus (talk) 15:39, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

OK, so he reverted again but this time added a CBR link which does call the Leader the arch-enemy of Hulk. Do we accept this? 8.37.179.254 (talk) 01:23, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Devil's Reign

How do I remove from the top of the Devil's Reign page?--Mark Rhodes 13 (talk) 21:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

How do you remove what from the top of the page? Doczilla _{@SUPERHEROLOGIST} 09:30, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

This and

Harley Quinn powers

Do you guys think Harley Quinn’s powers are excessive? A user thinks these are 100% accurate, but I just think that some of these are irrelevant and should list what the character is known for (ie underwater breathing):

• Trained psychiatrist
• Expert gymnast
• Using weaponized props
• Enhanced strength, durability, stamina, reflexes, and agility
• Immunity to various toxins
• Skilled hand-to-hand combatant
• Weapons proficiency
• Genius level intellect
• Psychological manipulation
• Underwater breathing
